Why are we here...

In order to spend the summer in the place where my family has been coming for generations, I have this funny little part-time job as the librarian in the community's summer library.

And, in fact, not only do I work in a library for the summer months, but, one of the job's side benefits is getting to live in the library.

This is actually a really important side benefit, since we can in no way afford to have a real house of our own around here. And, the house my family still owns is generally bursting at the seams with various people and assorted hangers-on.
